SIBI-P1 H1954-03

to Hôshea (He-Saves)

Morphological NotesProper masculine singular noun (personal name) from ישׁע, with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). No pronominal suffix; functions as a dative or relational proper noun.
Rendering RationaleThe name הוֹשֵׁעַ derives from the root ישׁע, "to save/deliver," and carries the sense "he saves" or "salvation." The prefixed לְ is a preposition meaning "to/for," so the rendering preserves both the root meaning (He-Saves) and the masculine singular proper noun form with the attached preposition.
